Friction has the ability to make an object points at another automatically. This is the Track transform effect

• In the transform section of the child object, add transform effect Track
• Setup its Target
• The child now automatically points toward the target

Do you know friction ? It is an awesome open source 2d animation software, early stage, which could replace after effect
